2009 was a great year, but it had its pitfalls (as many of you probably know) With the putting of Obama into office and his big hoopla health care bill, my spirits were dampened, to say the least. But as usual the good outweighs the bad.
A Recap of the Year~
On January first I joined a forum called the Dragons in our Midst Forum. It is a Christian forum run by a writer named Bryan Davis. There I have met many nice people and made good friends (such as Nathan Petrie).
On May 2nd I turned 13, therefore stepping into teenagerdom where I will be stuck for the next four and a half years. 'Twas a very momentous occasion for me. :)
On May 8th, my beautiful and youngest cousin Alexis Catherine Nielsen was born after a long and torturous wait (we were all anxious to find out if it was going to be a boy or a girl)
In June I went for the fourth year to the wonderful Camp Grace for a week. It was great to be reunited with all of my friends and to meet new ones as well.
Not wanting to go into Lusk for the eighth grade or going to Lance Creek when my best friend, Jessica, wasn't going to be there I decided to take up homeschooling again after about four years of country school. I chose to go with Switched on Schoolhouse by Alpha Omega Publications and it has been working great. Next year I will be attending Lusk High School.
In September during deer hunting season friends from down in Missouri and Oklahoma came up for the second year in a row and stayed at our house and hunted.
Also, I shot a four point mule deer this year, much nicer than my two pointer from last year.
Sometime during these months Garett brought home a new member to our family, Kimber (A.K.A Little Girl), a teddy bear hamster.
On November 5th my younger brother Garett turned 11.
I now stand at 5'9" and Garett at 5'4".
New Years Resolution~
This year I have decided I want to do these things:
Witness to my non-Christian friends.
Get up to 30,000 words written in The Alinar.
Read through the whole New Testament.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kind of short, but reasonable. Better than the one year when I wrote I would start a band and I didn't even know an intrument (besides a few keys on the piano) and niether did any of my friends. None of us could really sing either. =)
God Bless and Happy New Year,
Brenna Dixon
